Managed to blow the fuse in my digital multimeter. Its a 250ma 250v glass fuse. I can find them easily enough but they're available as either a quick or slow blow fuse. Not sure which type to get.
Quick blow, so it pops before anything in the meter. And as its a cheap meter using glass fuses, so you dont have to buy the £15 sand filled ceramic ones. I just bought a bag of 10 for pennies, wedged a couple of spares inside the meter housing. Slow blow are for things like filament light bulbs that draw 10x current for a fraction of a second as they heat up.
